Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats.

Question 9

Is it ok to drink alcohol after taking dayquil. and if not, how long should i wait?

Accepted Answer

It depends on "How much alcohol?"  Most docs would agree that one serving of alcohol would be ok, assuming you were in otherwise good health. Too much alcohol will lower your immune system, so if you're taking Dayquil for a cold/flu you are not helping your body by adding alcohol. Acetaminophen (an ingredient in some Dayquil) & alcohol is not a good combination, and can damage the liver.
